Topic: What happens to the olympic equipment (Read 2504 times)

I was amazed at the picture of all the cameras and lens Canon has available for photographers at the Olympics. Just wondering what will be done with all that nice equipment when the Games are over? Will it be refurbished and sold as such?

I would assume that they collected all stuff just for olympics to be in one place. They could divide it into regions to support different events around the globe for CPS members.

I dont think they sell it as "refurbished/used". If you think for a while: how many shutter actuations could 1 pro photog take during covering (lets say) one day ? 5 000 ? 10 000 ? even more ? And Im sure that 1 camera goes thru different hands.
